Status Updates From Magic Has No Borders

What the Winds Stole by Sabaa Tahir - 5 stars

Oh, I loved this one. A kind soul healing a bitter, angry peri and gathering all the things she had lost.

Daughter of the Sun by Sayantani DasGupta - 2 stars

The inspiration for this author's story breaks my heart and provides a good message. I'm not too sure about the story though, I felt as if the characters were static and in place and not dynamically moving through a plot. I couldn't really pin down what the overarching plot was.

Mirch, Masala, and Magic by Nafiza Azad - 4.5 stars

This is a really lovely story of a family supporting their own against the injustices that have been experienced and giving them the comeuppance they deserve.

Poetry of Earth by Swati Teerdhala - 5 stars

This was so sweet! A celestial learning to understand humans and slowly developing a relationship with one of the nicest boys I've read about.

The Hawk's Reason by Naz Kutub - 3 stars

The romance between the two princes is sweet but the plot is a bit light. This is more like a snippet of scenes of their love for each other rather than a plot arc. The ending felt a bit abrupt.

She Who Answers by Shreya Ila Anasuya - 4 stars

I think this is a sweet story about a goddess coming to the aid of a poor family who had been taken advantage of by another god.

Unraveled by Preeti Chhibber - 2 stars

I totally did not enjoy the romance relationship but at least Shweta realizes what a useless sack of a man he is at the end.
